While Democrats triumphed in resistance politics, winning the 2018 midterms and the 2020 presidential election against Trump, they struggled profoundly with governance, particularly in managing economic issues. This failure led to voter dissatisfaction and Trump's 2024 victory, primarily due to rising costs of living that Democrats could not adequately address. Significant population losses in Democratic strongholds like California and New York underscore the urgency for Democrats to not only resist but to also develop effective solutions to the economic challenges that voters face.
Democrats succeeded at the art of resistance politics, winning significant victories in the 2018 midterms and the 2020 presidential election, but failed at governance.
The resistance succeeded, yet the subsequent failures of Democratic governance contributed to Trump's resurgence in 2024 due to the affordability crisis.
Democrats must acknowledge past failures and provide new solutions to effectively marginalize MAGA and regain voter trust, particularly around economic management.
In liberal strongholds like California, New York, and Illinois, significant population losses highlight voters’ frustrations over the unsustainable cost of living.
